The Center at Mariandale’s 50th anniversary was on September 8, 2026, but we’re celebrating all year!

It’s Mariandale’s 50th year as sacred ground and spiritual home to so many who have passed through its doors for spiritual direction, retreat, respite, wellness services, contemplation, reflection, prayer, and liturgies. In this anniversary year, we’ll pause to appreciate the past and honor those who helped to shape the retreat center and share in the mission of the Dominican Sisters of Hope.

On September 23, we’ll launch this very special year with a fully online series of presentations by thought leaders, including Sr. Elizabeth Johnson, CSJ; Phyllis Zagano, PhD; Sr. Xiomara Mendez-Hernandez,OP; and Ann Garrido, DMin.
